This play is an ensemble comedy with 14 actors (8 F & 6 M) that takes place in a cafe. In the story, Purdy, who runs her Showtime Café famous for such dishes as “Fistful of Dollar Pancakes” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Ham,” is getting ready for a food critic purported to be in town. Then she learns that her old boyfriend Austin is back in town. During her flutter of activity, the elderly town gossips, Amelia and Celia, spread the word. Oracle, practically a fixture in the place, meantime gives Cody advice on winning over his sweetheart Jeanie (waitress) which ends up in an engagement, much to Jeanie’s delight and Cody’s surprise. A new couple, the Grants, show up in town creating even more confusion. And the big question is, will Purdy and Austin get together?
